Back in late 2022, the co-founders of Rocksteady Studios – Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker – announced that they would be departing the studio at the end of the year. Since then, the duo have kept quiet, with no news on what they have been doing since. That said, it appears as though the two have joined forces once again to open up a brand new studio: Hundred Star Games.
As discovered by Polygon, Hill and Walker have been listed as the directors of a new London-based studio known as Hundred Star Games; the description of which reads as follows:
“Hundred Star Games is a video game start-up based in East London. Our ethos is of creating a small team of only 100 industry veterans and emerging talents, who are committed to crafting cutting-edge gaming experiences that inspire and captivate players worldwide. With innovation at our core, we’re dedicated to pushing boundaries, embracing diversity, and fostering a vibrant gaming community. Our empowering company culture is unique to the industry which encourages leadership at all levels, accountability, team support, vulnerability, and connection.”
Though the pair have yet to confirm the reports, the possibility of the two veterans working together again is exciting indeed. While we have yet to see what becomes of Suicide Squad, Rocksteady under the leadership of Hill and Walker flourished with pretty much every title released being universally praised. It will be interesting to see what the duo have planned for this new venture.
